An Active Trade, Strong Prices and BRIGHT
Outlook Covers the Local Situation
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. -.
Not for many years has the volume of bust
ness been so satisfactory the first ten DAYS of
January as in the year 1887. Among merchants
there is confident feeling that the improve
ment is general in character and will be felt
through the entire year. as the basis seems to
be of healthy character, and all hands are dis
posed to roll up their sleeves and make it q win
ming year The tone of prices in most staple ar
ticles is strong. The improvement in the mar
ket for raw sugars noticed at the close of last
week has been sustained. and prices are higher.
There IS general belief that bottom has been
touched and that the market has seen its worst
days The demand is also improving, for REIN
ers, having held aloof from the market for so
long time, now find themselves in need of SIM
plies. The moderate but steady consumption
which has been going on has depleted stocks to
some extent and done away with any ex-
cess that might have proved Troublesome
In teas prices are steady on the basis of previous
quotations Formosas grading superior and
above are scarce and held with confidence The
Formosa winter crop has been entirely of low
grade and the indications that choice teas
will be higher in a few weeks. There is no spec-
ulation at present however, and dealers are sat
isfed to let the market take its natural course
Low grades are held at the recent advance but.
in the absence of movements, prices must be
considered more or less nominal.
Coffees maintain their strong position, the
firm tone reaching the mlder grades as we'll as
